but when I say start eclipse the uml windows closes.
This is normal if you mean you start the Eclipse integration using menu “Tools” → “IDE Integration” → “Eclipse Integration…”. This will cause VP-UML to exit and Eclipse will start, this is because VP-UML is invoked within the Eclipse IDE rather than the reverse. So when you want to start VP-UML Eclipse integration, always start Eclipse first and invoke VP-UML using the appropriate menus/popup menus/buttons in Eclipse. The “Eclipse Integration…” menu item in VP-UML is actually used for installing the integration materials in the first time, or if you want to re-install the integration at a later time.
when opening eclipse and trying any UML functionallity eclipse failes.
How do you perform the VP-UML operations? Try right-clicking the project node in the Package Explorer and select “VP-UML Project” → “New Project” (or “Open Project” if there is an existing one) from the popup menu, does VP-UML starts? I have tried to create a test project and synchronize between Eclipse and VP-UML and it is OK. The configuration is:
Windows XP
JDK 1.4.2
Eclipse Version: 3.0.0 Build id: 200308281813
VP-UML Professional Edition 20030915d
